Total straw man there. Changing to renewable energy is both inevitable and in most ways beneficial to most people. It may lead to a drastic and punitive reduction in the incomes of some fantastically wealthy people, but of course no one is better positioned to profit from the change than those people. Nobody is “acting in panic”, except perhaps those who fear this economic/technological change. I can see why the prospect of losing this incredibly profitable corner on the energy market would worry them, how the decentralizing and localizing of energy production creating hundreds of millions of working class and middle class winners would make them run around like Henny Penny. I’m not panicking, I’m putting solar panels on my roof to produce all the electricity I consume as well as the fuel for the electric car I am buying. Such a feel good prospect, no longer spewing potentially deadly fumes into our already dirty local air AND cutting my transport costs by 90% or more…Oh the Humanity;)
